Wal-Mart selects MSP® Dehumidification Technology. MSP®
Technology (Huntington, NY), a leader in the development
of energy-efficient dehumidification and energy recovery
technology, announced today that it has furnished two
20,000 cfm roof mounted dehumidification units, with

the efforts of the associates and the excellent support
of the Puerto Rican people. Today, the company operates
54 units on the Island, including 8 Walmart stores, 6
Walmart Supercenter and 31 SAM'S CLUB Supermarkets
Amigo. Walmart Puerto Rico is the largest private

According
to Edgardo Velez, P.E., President of Quantum Engineering
and consultants to Walmart Puerto Rico, “We selected MSP
Technology because they offered the only solution with
high performance and low energy consumption in a simple
100% refrigerant based unit with
minimal maintenance and low supply air dew point
temperature."

Walter Stark, President of MSP Technology commented,
“Walmart engineers evaluated a full range of alternative
solutions before selecting MSP Dehumidification
Technology. We are very pleased that Walmart engineers
recognized the value of MSP in this application. In the
end we
reduced electric service to each unit from 350 amps to
200 amps and completely eliminated the need for gas.”

Stark added, “We will continue to research fresh
opportunities in humidity control and energy recovery
and help develop new markets for MSP products by working
closely with customers’ system engineers.”
